about

In a world increasingly obsessed with success, it’s worth taking a moment every now and then to remind ourselves that success is just a story that people tell about themselves. This song is an ode to the rest of us - muddling through, taking one day at a time, and basically making it up as we go along.

lyrics

We have cut the candle in half
We have burnt each half from each end
But we’re no closer yet to working this out
Let’s just close our eyes, cross our fingers and pretend

We’re making it up as we go along
We’re faking it til we belong
Taking every chance to get it wrong
We’re making it up til we make it

When we were young we were always getting lost
The map was a maze of scribbles and lines
We doodled in the margins, and this is the cost

Things have got their own bright dumb ideas
They don’t quite ever work out for the best
But through these hapless years I’ve come to believe
Muddling through is the new success

We’re making it up as we go along
We’re faking it til we belong
Taking every chance to get it wrong
We’re making it up til we make it

We’re making it up as we go along
We’re faking it til we belong
Taking every chance to get it wrong
We’re making it up til we make it

We’re making it up as we go along
We’re learning to laugh as it all goes wrong
If we end up dead or we end up strong
We’re making it up til we make it
We’re making it up til we make it
One of these days...
